[DiBrody]

The Kia Sportage has two tire size models: 235/60R16 and 215/65R16. In 235/60R16, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, and 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches. The middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. In 215/65R16, the first number 215 represents the tire width of 215MM, 65 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 65%, meaning the section height is 65% of the width, and 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches. The middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. The Kia Sportage's wheel hub adopts a five-spoke fork design, and the spare tire is full-size. If you want to replace the tire yourself, you can follow the steps below: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is perpendicular to the ground; Remove the hub cover, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not completely loosen the nuts, just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts rotate instead of the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, and completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, tighten the nuts by hand until all nuts are hidden. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also has the following common data: Tire cord material: represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h.
